Mix It: The Nor’easter

Northeaster /nôrTHˈēstər/

(n.) A macro-scale Atlantic cyclone rotating counter-clockwise delivering harsh winds from the northeast, generally occurring between September and April.

(n.) A delicious cocktail best appreciated in a warm place with a couple of friends.

There could be no more appropriate time to share this cocktail recipe because the east coast is currently trying to thaw out after a recent winter storm that dumped snow in every state from Florida to Maine.

While you are stuck inside, why not give this recipe a try? Much like its distant cousin the Dark and Stormy, the Nor’easter is a weather-inspired cocktail that you can enjoy even while the temperature outside dips below freezing.

1/2 oz Lime Juice

1/2 oz Maple Syrup

2 oz Bourbon

1 bottle Ginger Beer

1 Lime wheel or peel

Instructions:

Mix lime juice, syrup, and bourbon in a cocktail shaker, or stir together in a glass.
